QuestionChanging locale for updates! Pin
Naruki2-Dec-08 13:24

This is more like a general rant, but the problem I'm facing right now is with Java update, so here goes.

I have a Japanese Win XP computer because I work in a Japanese company. I cannot read Japanese. I specifically downloaded the English version of Java and installed it so I would be able to read the messages.

Now that it wants to update, it only does so in Japanese. That means the screens with all the prompting are in Japanese, and the buttons labeled "okay" or "no, this will wipe your hard disk, don't do it!" are also unreadable.

Can someone explain to me why Sun, in their infinite wisdom, decided users shouldn't be able to easily override their default computer settings so that the user can decide what language he wants to read? I already know why Microsoft does it, but "for the money" doesn't seem appropriate for Java.

Also, I realize that sometimes they say "just change your locale settings", but that isn't good enough. In XP, there are about 5 different locale-related items I can change, and at least two of them force me to reboot my computer. I want something to affect the Java update, and only the Java update (and possibly other Java settings). I don't want to reboot my computer just for one program, then reboot again when it's finished. That is a BAD SOLUTION.

*breathes*

Okay, I'm just going to go wipe my hard disk now. Thanks for listening. Dead | X|
